This brings back memories, that South Street Philly area was a favorite day trip for me when I lived in NJ. I remember the mosaic work well although my main objective was the incredible mural project, the architecture, the history and the funky street vibe of the area.
I like reading your blog! Wish you lived closer to me in northern CA! In the meantime, I am enjoying Piggie, who fit nicely into my car for her ride from AZ to CA.
My understanding is that the entire structure was demolished for another office tower. The structure was 'temporary' built over a basement that was put in place many years ago for just that purpose but got put off for a couple decades.

Thanks!

So glad you have her! Hopefully some travel will be in store later in the year.
Is the “Kindness” mosaic gone??

Ah bummer, I always liked that mosaic. Glad you have photos and memories!
